Comments? Should I have bet the river? It felt like after the K hit there were VERY few calling hands I could beat.

this looks fine.

For me this depends on any reads you have on your opponent. I usually value bet this river against known loose callers. There are many pocket pair hands that will call you down here but were afraid to show any aggression. And your opponent here called 2 preflop and then never found a place to raise.

I take it from your "sniff" that you lost to KJ or KT?
